The wait for people travelling from South Delhi to Noida is finally over. The Magenta Line of Delhi Metro connecting Kalkaji Mandir to Botanical Garden station is all set to kick start.

It will be inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath at the Botanical Garden metro station today.

Magenta Line is the first driverless metro line, though it will run under human surveillance for the initial few days.

The train that runs through a stretch of 12.64 km will reduce the travel time from 52 minutes to 19 minutes.

A visible addition is the public safety net created at stations. A glass wall and screen gates have been built to ensure passengers do not fall on tracks as the train arrives. The glass gate opens only when the train comes to a halt and coach doors open.
